Captain S. F. Judy, superintendent of |
the Rio Grende division OF the Texas and |
Pacific Railway, who arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon with Captain Grants
party on 6 special from Ell Paso,
was seen LAST night. He says
cattle shipments this month
over the Texas and Pacific will exceed
anything the road has known in its
history. The road has orders now for
1000 cars to re used for cattle hauling,
between now and January l. So great is
the demsnd that the company has drawn
on the Frisco, Chicago and Alton,
Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific and Cot
ton Belt for cars TO enable it to I'LL it's or
derS. Ca Jtain judy, having just been
over the entire road west of here, knows
the condition of stock and range. He
says both are first class. Stockmen
would be happy if prices would favor
them little.

The stockmen in the west are being
supplied more literally with Transports
ton facilities by the railroad companies,
and they are taking advantage OF
it. For the last week the shipments
through Fort Worth have averaged from
ffSy TO sixty carloads daily, and yesterday
there were forty EIGHT carloads handled
here. The cars of the Texas roads have
been sent TO St. Louis and Kansas City l.
loaded with stock, and kept there. 70
such an extent had this been carried on
that the roads were falling behind intheiF1
so they were compelled to take
strong measures TO get back the cars, Il
Now the companies are supplying all nec7i
esssry stock cars and the result is me cal-
.lemen are rushing through their stock.
The slightly improved markets for beef in L:
the east have also contributed to- cHusei
The briskness. No sheep and very fey (
horses sre moving.
